The rocket barrages from Islamic Jihad and their smaller terrorism partners continued and escalate today, but so did Israel's assassinations - quite remarkable given that those leaders know that they are targets.
Tragically, one of the rockets hit an apartment in Rehovot, killing one person who has not yet been identified.
And that was a signal for the Islamist animals to celebrate.
The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine said that our Palestinian people raise their heads high with this blessed and sacred response from the Palestinian resistance.The movement said: Sacred Duty missiles are the most effective response to destroying the enemy's targets and burying his nose in the soil.The Al-Quds Brigades have fulfilled their promise and covenant for the blood of the martyrs, leaders, children and women, the statement concluded.
As always, it is all about pride and honor. Killing an Israeli civilian causes them to "raise their heads high."
If this isn't antisemitism, I don't know what is.
What was their military accomplishment? None whatsoever. The hit civilian targets, damaged civilian buildings and killed a civilian. But to the twisted mind of Islamic Jihad leaders - and as we've seen, a great number of Palestinians - killing an Israeli is in itself an accomplishment, and a goal to strive for, and something to be immensely proud of.
This isn't about "freeing Palestine." It is about murdering Jews, one at a time over decades if that it what it takes, until there are none left. It is a feeble but quite real attempt at genocide.
And they are willing to kill their own people - at least four so far from misfired rockets - just to get an opportunity to kill a single Jews.
Imagine if Gaza's leaders spent their money on infrastructure rather than rockets and tunnels.
